The prices of 14.2 kg LPG domestic cylinder have remained stable despite mounting pressure to raise fuel prices amid the Iran war disruption.

It was first increased by Rs 144 in March, followed by another hike of nearly Rs 200 on April 1.

Govt says no shortage of LPG
The government on Wednesday said it was making “every possible effort” to ensure uninterrupted supplies of LPG, crude oil and natural gas amid the ongoing West Asia crisis, while also urging people not to indulge in panic buying at retail fuel outlets, ANI reported.
Addressing an inter-ministerial briefing, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery) in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said, “Our imports are affected due to the West Asia crisis, whether it is LPG, crude or natural gas. But the Indian government is trying to ensure that domestic supply, domestic LPG consumers are provided with 100 per cent supply.”
She added that "70 per cent of the commercial supply is being provided" even as authorities continue efforts to maintain stable fuel availability across the country.
On commercial and transport fuel supply, Sharma said "approximately 15,900 tonnes of commercial LPG were sold in the last two days" while "876 tonnes of auto LPG were sold by PSU OMCs."
The official also said that over "1,20,000 5 kg cylinders were sold in the last two days" as part of efforts to improve accessibility of cooking fuel.
LPG cylinder prices to hike?
Petrol and diesel prices may increase by around Rs 4–5 per litre, while domestic LPG cylinders could see a hike of about Rs 40–50, according to government sources. The government, however, had recently ruled out the possibility of an increase immediately after the conclusion of the assembly polls.
